report dealing with the absence of Rev. C. L. Cochrane [sic],
he not having given reasons for non attendance.The
committee on absentees made report No. II, which on motion was
concurred in and its recommendations adopted. Appendix S.We, your Committee on Absentees, note the fact that
our dear brother, C. L. Cochrane [sic] has been from time to time
reproved by this, the Madison Presbytery, for non-attendance and
inactivity in ministerial work. His attention having been called
to these matters on several occasions and upon our having no assurance
from him of any improvement or change of attitude toward his ministerial
duties or any excuses offered for his nonattendance at this meeting
of Presbytery, we recommend that his name be dropped from our
roll of ordained ministers and that his name be recommended to
the local congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in
Jackson, Tennessee, where he resides, to be enrolled as a member
of that congregation. T. N. Hays.[Source:
